Como avaliamos tablets

Todos desejamos que nossos dispositivos sejam fáceis de reparar. Afinal, reparabilidade é sinônimo de longevidade. Por mais que queiramos que todos eles tenham dez de pontuação, apenas alguns chegarão ao lugar mais alto do pódio. Mas o que torna um dispositivo reparável?

Para começar, os pontos são atribuídos com base na dificuldade de abrir o dispositivo. Como poderá repará-lo se não puder abri-lo? Com o dispositivo aberto, verificamos que tipo de elementos de fixação estão sendo usados: parafusos proprietários ou cola? Eca! Parafusos Phillips? Bem melhor!

À medida que examinamos a parte interna do dispositivo, as partes modulares fáceis de trocar, o acesso facilitado a componentes trocados frequentemente e a facilidade de atualização vão nos deixando cada vez mais felizes. Como resultado, o dispositivo recebe mais pontos. Por fim, para atingir a nota máxima, os dispositivos devem possuir um manual, que tem de ser gratuito e público, oferecido pelo fabricante.

Quais dispositivos receberam nosso selo de aprovação? Para obter mais recomendações de produtos, confira abaixo não só o nosso placar de reparo dos tablets, como também o placar de reparo dos smartphones, e o placar de reparo dos notebooks.
